Chapter 1705
Lucas, “You’re on a hot streak, buddy-two games, two wins. Marc, every time we play, it’s like you’ve got Lady Luck wrapped around your finger. Aren’t you afraid you’ll scare us all off with your winning ways?”
Steve grinned and said. “Let the man have his moment of glory. It’s not like he’s got much luck in the love department. Let him have his wins at the poker table.”
Luke quipped, “You never know, tomorrow might just be the day Marc meets the girl of his dreams.”
Steve burst out laughing. “Marc? Find love tomorrow? That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard in years.”
Luke shrugged, “You can’t predict these things. Just the other day, you were telling us you hadn’t met anyone special, and look at you now.”
Steve countered, “That’s different, man.”
Luke mused, “Tomorrow’s a new day. Who knows what could happen.”e2
“Why don’t we make a bet on it?” Steve proposed.
“On what?” Luke asked.
“Should we get Zavier in on this?” Steve said, looking around.
Zavier, never one to miss out on a bit of fun, chimed in, “Count me in. I wouldn’t miss this for the world.”
Steve declared, “I bet Marc’s destined to be a bachelor for life. How about you, Luke?”
Luke pondered for a moment, “Love’s a tricky thing. Marc may seem like a lone wolf now, but who’s to say he won’t meet the right girl tomorrow. I bet within two years, he’ll be smitten.”
“What about you, Zavier?” Steve turned to Zavier.
Zavier glanced at Marc and said, “Two years is a short bet. Ten years seems fair. I can’t believe that in a decade, no woman will have made her way into Marc’s heart.”
“Deal. The losers do whatever the winner wants,” Steve declared.
Luke added, “Just keep your hands off my Rosie, and you’re on.”
“I’m a gentleman. I wouldn’t go after a friend’s wife,” Steve scoffed.
